Barely a week goes by without me playing 'Voodoo' at some point and with it, a desire to learn how to play 'How Does it Feel'.

This tutorial video by youtube user pianocouture is one of the best 'how to play' videos I have seen for the classic track.

I think that instructional videos like this are good for two main reasons. Reason one: obviously, a learner player will gain confidence and enjoyment from learning a favourite song of theirs.

Reason two: Even if a beatmaker has no desire to learn to play the keyboard, but wants to create a loop or a riff (a feeling) similar to 'How Does it Feel', what better way to, than playing the song itself (or similar sounds), sampling it and chopping it up?

Either way, this is a great tutorial video. I've subscribed to Piano Couture's youtube page and, if you are looking to get your key game up, I suggest you do too ;)
